I have an OVH SoYouStart dedicated server with Centos 6.8 + OpenVZ (vzctl 4.9.4). This was the recommended installation procedure for OpenVZ before 7.0.
Is it possible to install OpenVZ 7.0 on this server? I don't see Virtuozzo or OpenVZ 7.0 in the list of OS choices when I try to reinstall the OS on the server.
If it becomes possible in the near future, will it be free, or is there going to be a license fee?
I am posting here, because I can't post on the OVH forums (haven't been able to figure out why).

Thank you.
Asking them to install a distribution that they do not offer is not very appealing to me. I might want to reinstall a few times, so would I keep asking them? Would they do it? Then why don't they state so in their list of available OSes?
I asked about this provider, because they were the reason I got started with OpenVZ. I needed a dedicated server, and when I got one, I saw the virtualization options and I though, why not try one. So I tried Proxmox, which had OpenVZ.
When Proxmox stopped supporting OpenVZ (not too long ago), I switched over to CentOS 6.8 + openvz.
Now that OpenVZ moved away from being an add-on to CentOS, I have no upgrade path.
OVH also rented VPSes that were OpenVZ containers. I still have such a VPS. Now they moved to OpenStack KVM.
